## Description:
Top Bar Refactor – UI & UX Improvement Proposal
This update overhauls the top game bar to improve clarity,
responsiveness, and overall user experience across desktop and mobile.
It consolidates player resources (e.g., building counts), integrates
game controls (pause, settings, time), and enhances visual contrast.
Key changes:
Redesigned top bar with player data and game options.
Team color indicator bar (team games only).
Countdown bar during "Choose Starting Position" phase.
Removed redundant info (e.g., troop/worker counts shown elsewhere).
Inspired by strategy games like Travian Legends, this refactor offers a
cleaner and more intuitive layout, especially for smaller screens.
⚠️ Note: This is a large change and likely contains visual or functional
bugs I can’t currently spot due to fatigue. Thorough testing is required
before approval.

## Description:
Add a rail network to handle train stations/railroad between structures.
Changes:
- `RailNetwork` is responsible for the train station graph. Use it to
connect new `TrainStations`
- A `RailRoad` connects two `TrainStation`
- No loop possible in the rail network
- Train stations handles its railroads
- Added a layer to draw the railroads under the structures
#### Clusters
- To speed up computations, each `TrainStation` references its own
cluster
- A cluster is a list of `TrainStation` connected with each other,
created by the `RailNetwork` when connecting the station
- Train stations spawn trains randomly depending on its current cluster
size
- A `TrainStation` decides randomly of the train destination by picking
one from the cluster
#### Production building:
- Added a factory which has no gameplay impact currently. _To be
discussed._
#### Train stops:
- When a train reaches a factory, it's filled with a "cargo". The loaded
trains has no impact currently. _To be discussed._
- When a train reaches a city, the player earn 10k gold
- When a train reaches a port, it sends a new tradeship if possible
- If a destination/source is destroyed, the train & railroad are deleted
too

## Description:
Improve type safety and runtime correctness by:
1. Enabling TypeScript's
[strictNullChecks](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#strictNullChecks)
compiler option.
2. Replacing all loose equality operators (`==` and `!=`) with strict
equality operators (`===` and `!==`).
3. Cleaning up of type declarations, null handling logic, and equality
expressions throughout the project.
Currently, the code allows implicit assumptions that `null` and
`undefined` are interchangeable, and relies on type-coercing equality
checks that can introduce subtle bugs. These practices make it difficult
to reason about when values may be absent and hinder the effectiveness
of static analysis.
Migrating to strict null checks and enforcing strict equality
comparisons will clarify intent, reduce bugs, and make the codebase
safer and easier to maintain.

There's a bug that when using translators in your browser it shows
troops/gold/... as `NaN`, I couldn't get a translator to work to
confirm, but this should work
